This field is 340 to the corners, 380 to the alleys and 420 to center....so that ball had to of been pissed on. They should come play in Hastings at Duncan field it is 370 to left 367 to right 408 to center and 395 in the power alleys Quote

The Polish Rifle Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 Through 11 innings today we have 4 hits and 12 strikeouts....I'm headed to dinner so the offense should come alive. Quote
Bugeaters1 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 The pitching is usually ahead of the hitting. Quote
HB Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 Hung on to win the nightcap. Needed that one. Interesting to see Childs play so well. Hope Mojo keeps it up , but freshmen do this a lot until they get scouted. Let's finish this 3-1. Suspect we'll see Alvarodo's pitching debut today. Quote

Wonder if they'll go Meyers or Johnny Wholestaff tomorrow. Tomorrow needs to be a win because I believe the next 7 are against 2016 NCAA tournament teams. Quote
HB Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 Thanks for the notice, Rifle. My guess is Jake will be on the mound tomorrow. Quote

royalfan Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 If memory serves from playing there about 25 years ago, it seemed there were light towers in the playing field in center? That still the case, or I am dreaming that altogether? Quote

To me Duncan lost all of it glamor when they move the lights. This is what you remember. Edited February 19, 2017 by Bugeaters1 Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 Weren't the walls even futher back like 30 some years ago? Also I heard that Yogi was the only high school kid to hit one out to center at the American Legion World Series back in the 30' or 40's. But that might have just been an urban legend. Quote

The walls have never moved, they have made some adjustment to home plate though. I'll have to look into whether Yogi has hit one out, I have a friend who did research on all of the home runs hit at Duncan. Silverbacked1 1 Quote
The Polish Rifle Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 Rained out again today. Only getting 2 in this weekend hurts, would have liked to see Meyers, Alvarado and Ben get work on the mound before seeing the likes of Oregon State or Utah. Quote

Could hurt us later. Would have really sucked to travel to Arizona for the series, see only two games and miss the glorious weather here in Nebraska. trickey and Bugeaters1 2 Quote

Yeah, what do I do but leave the country to avoid the last 2 weeks of February then it turns into April in Nebraska!?!? Quote

We're gonna get 3 complete teams in Frisco as well. We went 1-3 last year against CofC and Western Carolina. Cal Poly was 32-25 last year and picked 4th in a loaded Big West. Non-Con will do us no favors. Quote

Non-Con will do us no favors. The good news is Charleston and WC are at home and teams traveling from the coast usually don't fair well in Lincoln mid-march. We will always have to be aggressive in scheduling during the non-con as it gives us a fighting chance to host in the postseason. But, that really has never been a reality under Erstad thus far.

Think its NCAA or bust for Erstad this year? - I know this board hates coaching change speculation, but this isn't like basketball. Facilities, history, fan support, we should be the big dog of the big 10 year in and year out. Quote
